Hello darkness, my old friend

Happy late birthday meganberrieh! I hope it was a wonderful day. :)

So, due to the crazy conversation sarcasma and I had a while back, I decided to attempt going to the gym before work. Therefore, when my alarm went off (earlier than normal, boo) this morning, I threw myself out of bed, made some bad fashion choices, grabbed my stuff, ran out the door, and got to the subway station...where I sat for 10 minutes, because the first train doesn't come until 6 am. Evil! (Also, as sarcasma said, No one should be up before the subway!)

Anyway, I went, I lifted, I yawned, I showered, and now I am wobbly and sleepy, but at least I get to go home right after work without feeling guilty.

It did bring up a few issues, though, namely food (I will now have to bring breakfast and lunch, and everything is going to be unrefrigerated for a couple of hours). I feel like I now need my own personal fridge at work. This is why I want to live across the street from work.

Speaking of food, this weekend only confirmed what I have long believed: every day is made better by brunch. Even the snowstorms and thunder (!!) could not keep me from having not one, but two brunches this weekend. Yum.

Sin City: I really didn't like this movie. Which totally surprised me, because I'm very good at knowing what I'll like, and usually I like (to greater or lesser extent) everything that I choose to see. And I mean, I thought it was visually stunning and I loved how you could clearly see how the comic book frames had been translated on to film. But it was so fucking gratuitously, needlessly, over-the-top violent and gory. I am not someone who is easily freaked out or disgusted, but I felt like I was going to throw up by the end of the first story. And then I got really depressed, because I started to wonder why this is considered entertainment, and why we need to see this, and what this says about society. Hey, I had my eyes closed to control the nausea, I had to think of something. Plus I thought some of the acting was terrible, and the dialogue didn't translate well to film. Whatever.

(PS. Was Gilmore Girls new this week? I thought it was, but what I taped turned out to be a repeat.)

I had to comment just to raise the non-working-out-schlub quotient of this entry.

You were too busy exercising your ability to distinguish actual wearable clothing from that which could cause spontaneous combustion of all makeover show hosts everywhere.

It's true, I'm actually kind of cute today. Still invisible when in the concourse, though, as evidenced by being literally crushed against a wall by a suit busy chatting with his buddies while I tried to get my lunch. :p
